Lookout Questions Anyone else get one this season?

This was waiting for me on Saturday am when I opened the tower for a weekend service. Looks like we are going to have to spend some time and money on repairs. I could here the inspection crew asking for tower lock combos for the towers that are now rentals for campers/tourists

Which members are split and how difficult will it be to prop the tower to swap them out? That doesn’t sound like a one person job.

Also, did they not check the foundation, guy wires, comm/equipment, and ladder, or does this lookout not have any problems with those things?
